Text Chapter 689 Sword Light Sword Shadow

Thirty miles away from the north gate of Chang'an City, it is the location of the northern army camp. Military stronghold, heavily guarded. In the camp, Fu Shou waited for Dong Yan in full armor, and he was very excited at the moment.

The palace favored minister, who came to the camp of the Northern Army as the emperor's envoy, was originally born with a feminine woman and a handsome face. It is rumored that he has a habit of breaking sleeves with today's son, but it is not groundless.

Strange to say, several emperors of the Han Dynasty seem to have such a hobby. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty had a trial of his time, a Confucian, Emperor Xiaohui had Hongru, Emperor Wen had Deng Tong, and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had Langzhong Ling Zhou Ren...... And so on, and so on.

This "fine tradition" of the old Liu family has been carried forward even more when it is now Liu Che. In the court, there are many people who have been given wealth and even marquis because of their soft and charming service.

Although the legendary reputation is not good, in the face of glory and wealth, people who want to take this shortcut and get holy favor flock to it. It's just that to be able to become a figure of attention from the government and the opposition at a young age like Dong Yan, in addition to his own ability, he needs a great opportunity.

The momentum of the camp of the Great Army was indeed different from other places. The wind blew the banner and hunted, and the golden drum was faint, which invisibly added a sense of slaughter. In the world of life, the general seal in the palm of his hand, and the young man is ten thousand pockets! Tiger Ben Pixiu, the order is forbidden, and the man is right!

Fu Shou waited for Dong Yan to dress up in armor and cloak, and he was really the first-rate person in the world. Since he is in charge of the army, he must kill people to stand up for power in order to serve the people, which is both a practice and a rule. Just now, Sima in the camp of the Northern Army had just been beheaded and became the first unlucky egg.

After ordering the killing, Dong Yan was surrounded by guards and henchmen, and his cold eyes glanced at all the generals and captains standing in the big tent of the Chinese army again, although the words still seemed a little feminine, but the murderous aura contained in them was no longer to be underestimated.

"So, gentlemen...... Is there anything to question now? ”

There was no sound in the tent, only the crackling sound of burning torches. Someone secretly glanced at the sword of the Son of Heaven enshrined on the military case, and lowered his head again. This master is ruthless enough, and Sima in the army just questioned the order he had just issued to leave the camp overnight, and he was ordered to be beheaded. The bloody head is presented in front of everyone, who dares to say more?

"General Liu Xun, what do you think?"

Dong Yan turned his gaze to the commander of the Northern Army Battalion who was standing opposite him, and asked lightly, but there was not much politeness in his tone.

Liu Xun, the current chief general of the Northern Army Battalion, is also a relative of the Huang family. Since Li Xuanji was killed by Huo Qubing in Lin Yuan on Zhongnan Mountain not long ago, he was temporarily appointed to command these 30,000 soldiers and horses to shield Chang'an.

Liu Xun actually has 10,000 people in his heart, and he is unwilling to lead his troops to participate in the chaos in Chang'an at this juncture. Many years ago, during the Zhulu Rebellion, his ancestor Liu Pijiang once led troops to clear the palace ban. This has never been a good errand, and there is only a fine line between the struggle for great wealth and the catastrophe of destruction. And crossing the river and demolishing the bridge to become a scapegoat is even more commonplace.

But he has no choice, since the family has fallen, his clan disciple has been placed on great expectations, and his clan members are always looking forward to him, the most capable person in the family, having the opportunity to make a special honor and restore the glory of his ancestors. What's more, in the face of Fu Shouhou, who came with the Sword of the Son of Heaven and the Tiger Talisman of the Troop Transfer, he couldn't resist.

"The last general is willing to obey the orders of the Hou Ye and wait for the order!"

"Excellent! A few days ago, the situation in Chang'an began to become volatile. His Majesty the Emperor ordered me to come to the camp of the Northern Army to stand by, just in case...... Sacred heart, discerning! Half an hour ago, news had already come from Chang'an, the crown prince ...... Rebel! ”

Speaking of this, Dong Yan paused slightly. The four generals gasped, and everyone looked up in shock. Then, hearing the tone of the emperor's envoy, he suddenly became stern.

"The prince rebelled and caused trouble in Chang'an! As a soldier of the Northern Army Battalion, at this critical moment, he should fight hard and try his best to quell the rebellion! This is not only to repay His Majesty the Emperor's kindness, but also for the sake of your personal future...... Fame and wealth are all on the tip of the knife on horseback, do you want to let go of such a good opportunity!?"

Sure enough, when such demagogic words came out, they immediately aroused the blood of all the generals. The hesitation that still existed in the heart completely disappeared, and it was transformed into the greatest motivation to go and win wealth.

"We are all willing to obey the dispatch, follow General Liu and Fu Shouhou into Chang'an to quell the chaos, and go to the soup to fight the fire, and we will not give up!"

Seeing the crowd boiling in front of him, Dong Yan's soft face showed a smug smile. Although he does not have the courage of ten thousand people, he has the ability to encourage the morale of the army. In some cases, this invisible force is often more powerful.

Tiger talisman in hand, mobilize the whole army. Liu Xun passed the general's order, but in just a moment, 20,000 horse infantry soldiers were prepared. The torches were as bright as day, and the gates of the camp of the Northern Army were wide open, lined up in formation, and began to line out.

Ahead is the boundless night, you can't see the outline of Wushengmen, but Dong Yan, who stepped on horseback, was full of confidence, and he would go thirty miles to fight horses, and control the situation in Chang'an with these 20,000 tigers, and maintain the majesty of the emperor loyally, after tomorrow, his status in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor will be more different.

Heavy troops are about to enter the city. This was originally a move that the emperor had already arranged in advance. What he did was to prevent Yuan Zhao and the crown prince, who were already extremely powerful, from doing something rebellious. This is the timely response made by the extremely suspicious Son of Heaven after he noticed some abnormal signs during the prince's imprisonment.

Perhaps, deep down, he didn't actually see these two young people as rivals worthy of reciprocal matches. When they are proud, it is his original intention to show his supreme majesty, let them suffer some setbacks, and then have some fear in their hearts.

However, with the development of the situation and the intervention of various forces, the development of events has deviated from the original direction. His Majesty the Emperor, who was strategizing in the Yanbo Palace, may not have realized in his arrogant heart that he had fallen into the calculations of his courtiers. In the end, no one can see clearly who is turning the clouds and rain and holding the chess game of the world.

After hearing the news of the prince's rebellion, the emperor issued several orders in a fit of rage. Sending the palace flying cavalry to order the northern army battalion to send troops is just one of them. Almost at the same time, the Yulin Army received an order to seal off the Weiyang Palace and prohibit everyone from entering and leaving. The embroidered guards are responsible for supervising and keeping strict vigilance to prevent abnormalities from occurring in the palace.

The guards who were under the command of the palace had already gone to inform the court ministers in the city separately that his majesty the emperor would personally preside over the court tomorrow, and everyone should not be absent.

This was the first summons issued by the emperor who was recuperating from illness after a long time. Many ministers who heard the turmoil in the city were nervous, and when they finally heard the emperor's voice, they already felt that tomorrow's great court meeting would be very important. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's hard to predict!

The rumors of the prince's rebellion have long been known throughout the city. Before the truth is known, there are all kinds of speculations, but after all, there are many doubters. The prince's reputation for benevolence and filial piety was well known to both the government and the opposition, and he suddenly said that he rebelled and was difficult to convince the public. However, when the emperor's clear will is conveyed, most people will be awake at night. Where to go from here, this time the choice is extremely difficult!

And how is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doing now? Where exactly is he? In the anxious waiting of many people, they have not received clear news. I only know that after a fierce battle outside the Suzaku Gate, the prince fled under the protection of the guards. In the dark night of Chang'an, there was no one in sight, only the sound of killing.

The Chang'an Mansion and the soldiers and horses of the Nine Gates, who received the order, were finally all dispatched. Under the full supervision of the eunuchs and embroidered guards in the palace, a city-wide search was launched overnight. The Bowang Garden of the Prince's East Palace has been surrounded for the first time, and everyone inside is closely guarded, waiting for an unknown fate.

And all the city mansions that had dealings with the prince, no matter what their status was, no matter how noble, also became the target of key searches and supervision. All of a sudden, chickens flew and dogs jumped, and chaos abounded.

Thousands of nine cavalrymen came and went on the streets of Chang'an, and there were thousands of people in the rivers and lakes under the command of the embroidered clothes guard to provide clues and news. On several occasions, he almost caught the prince's traces, but in the end, he managed to escape.

The crown prince has an extremely powerful character around him, which is already a fact that everyone knows. It is precisely because of this person's protection that the prince was able to escape the net of heaven and earth in Chang'an City, and no one has been able to catch it so far. However, it is said that the man has long been seriously injured, and at the end of the strong crossbow, it is difficult to last, and there is no need to be afraid.

It was nearly midnight, and the always arrogant Nine Cavalry finally found a suspicious trace again. The sword flashed in front of him, and several embroidered guards and Jianghu masters died unexpectedly, and then the sound of horses' hooves disappeared not far away. The cavalry captain who turned the corner of the street shouted urgently, and the nine-door cavalry, which was equipped with hundreds of swords and crossbows, chased after him on horseback, and held on tightly. In the darkness, the crossbow arrows flew sideways, and I don't know if they were shot.

Dozens of feet ahead, on a tired horse, Park Yongyeol, who was covered in injuries, galloped on the horse, and tightly wrapped the black knife in the palm of his hand with strips of cloth. In order to protect the prince unharmed, he did not hesitate to stain his white clothes with blood, his body was already scarred, and his strength was almost exhausted. All the places in the city where you can take shelter for a while have been surrounded by heavy troops. The only way now may be to fight your last breath out of Xicheng Yong'anmen to go to Changle Plateau, in order to have a glimmer of life!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, in front of you is Yong'an Gate...... Rest assured, as long as you can rush out, you will be safe! ”

Facing the wind and being murderous. In the firelight, thousands of cavalry horses and swords arrayed, and the blood-clothed young man took a deep breath. Even if you fight to the death, you will not live up to the master's trust! Kill!
